Conformational heterogeneity of amyloid fibrils by microwave-assisted chemistry

What is it about?

This article describes the microwave-based synthesis of amyloid fibrils, and particularly shows how the conformational heterogeneity of amyloid fibrils can be controlled by microwave irradiation.

Why is it important?

This article explains how the self-assembly process, which can be affected by microwave irradiation, governs the molecular structures and conformational heterogeneity of amyloid fibrils. This work may provide insight into how to regulate the conformational diversity of amyloid fibrils.
